Many
students applying and admitted to our program have completed undergraduate
coursework outside Hunter College. Your best method of determining
if a course you have taken or are planning on taking will meet our
prerequisite requirement, follow the following decision making. First,
ask your advisor or course instructor if the course will typically
transfer to a four year college. Be sure it will not transfer as elective
credits, but as an equivalent course at a four year college. IF YOU
ARE TAKING A COURSE AT A TWO YEAR COLLEGE IN THE CUNY, A COURSE EQUIVALENCY
GUIDE IS AVAILABLE TO AT EACH DEPARTMENT AND ON THE INTERNET. YOU
CAN LOOK UP ANY COURSE AT ANY TWO YEAR CUNY COLLEGE, AND SEE WHAT
FOUR YEAR CUNY COLLEGES WILL ACCEPT THAT COURSE. THIS COURSE EQUIVALENCY
GUIDE IS FOUND AT CUNY Course Equivalency
Guide.
College
courses taken elsewhere may meet entrance conditions, but may not
necessarily have Hunter equivalents that satisfy degree requirements.
Credit values for courses taken elsewhere need not be equal to Hunter
courses. Evaluation of transfer credits is done through the Office
of Admissions, NOT The School of Health Sciences.
PLEASE
NOTE:
All transfer credit must be given Hunter equivalents by academic departments
or the initial Admissions Office evaluation, except for courses used
as "Open Electives". Check with Admissions
or Academic
Advising to determine the status of all courses taken at other
colleges or universities. The student alone cannot decide the final
status of his or her transfer credits or equivalents.
Proof
in writing is the determining factor in all cases of appeal.
